About Sarah:

Sarah began selling clean cookstoves when she became fed up with the poor quality of the stoves that she was selling. She wanted to give her costumers a better, safer product. Sarah says that since then, "My income has increased and I am more stable. I have tried to work hard and now I am making more than 100 stoves per week." Sarah has used the extra income to send her three children to school and buy a new plot of land.

Why she was selected for the program: Sarah is a young, thriving entrepreneur, but she struggles with her confidence. The trainings have become integral to her future growth, "Before getting training, I felt shy and sometimes it was to the point that I was thinking about changing my business. Now it’s much much better. I am feeling so optimistic." Sarahis a capable and determined entrepreneur and your support will help her flourish.

Her business goal: In the next year, she hopes to hire two employees and continue to see her income grow so she can build a new house. "But most importantly, I want to feel that my husband and my children are proud of me."
